Hi @robert, 

Let's have you try and run through the steps below; 

• Remove anything that say's Microsoft C++ 
• Remove anything that say's Microsoft .NET
• Clear Temp folder
• Follow this article for a step by step Clean Uninstall. 
• Make sure you have full administartive right's on this computer.

Now that everything is cleared and removed try to run a clean install of 

• Microsoft C++
• Microsoft .NET

I would then recommend trying to run the install. If you still have an issue let me know and I can have a specialist take a look at your account via a Case.

Tried your recomendation and it's still not working. Updated error mesage attached.

Looks like this is the failure point: did you manually install Visual C++ 2015 manually on your PC and restart it first?

"Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) Failed Failure is ignored, Result=1638"

[robert]

I took care of the C++ issue by re-installing and re-starting. However, installation is still failing. Please see attached for the latested error message.

Hi @robert,

First, instead of using the Web Installer to install the software, download the entire application then run through the installation. It appears you're only trying to install AutoCAD LT, so use the following link:

AutoCAD LT 2017 - 64bit

Once the download is complete, run through the installation process again.

Hi @robert, 

A case was created for you, were you able to resolve your issue? 

Post back in the thread if you are still having an issue with AutoCAD.

Thanks.  

[robert]

Thanks, Darin! This worked perfectly and I'm up and running! 

[robert]

Thank you for creating the case, I've got the software up and running now!

Hi I cant get the free trial for autocad LT to work on my HP WIndows 10 laptop.

Please confirm why this is ? I have had the full auto cad version on there previously so im not sure why this is not working

Please state the issue that occurs during the installation process? Does it fail to install or it doesn't let you use the software because the trial expired? Also, post the installation log files from your temp directory by typing %temp% in the search box of the start menu.
